Melinda Kiss (HUN)

Animation artist and associate professor. She studied at the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca, and gained her DLA at MOME (Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest). In animated productions, she works as director, designer and animator, both in original and applied pieces. Her creative activities involve other visual arts too, including animation theory and history. Another significant part of her professional work is tertiary art education, within which her key focus is on talent development and raising awareness of motion picture visual culture to engage a wider audience. She is currently the head of METU's (Budapest Metropolitan University) Institute of Animation and Media Design, the head of the Animation BA and MA programme, and as such, the producer of student animations.
